Good episode and Kiefer is doing well as President Kirkman.
If they can keep this up without too much pathos and not more focusing on the family story, I will definitely keep watching.

And BTW, good news ...

Designated Survivor and Speechless get full-season pickups at ABC

good deal, how was the rating on ep 2? havent looked in rating thread yet.

It is a decent show, I just wish nikita lol would tell him her theory, what is she waiting on ??

you dont need proof, just common sense about the bomb they found.

It does show how people have a "need" to blame and punish someone, and
if they dont know they just assume.

There will be family stuff tscc, they have them there, so they will use them in probably
not a good way.
if you dl them then just ff thru stuff like that.
His boy has issues and is not a good kid, so he will cause some problems.
